  🔐 You must be an Admin of the Page to link Instagram through Page settings.

💡 Benefits of Connecting:

  • Sync info like hours, address, phone number

🛠️ Troubleshooting Tips:

• ✅ Make sure you are a Page Admin
  You must be an Admin (not just Editor or Moderator) of the Facebook Page to connect an Instagram account.

• 💻 Use a desktop browser
  Meta's full settings and tools (including Instagram linking) are best accessed on desktop. Mobile may hide or limit these options.

• 🚫 Ensure your Instagram account isn’t already connected to another Facebook Page
  An Instagram Business/Creator account can only be connected to one Facebook Page at a time. You must disconnect it first if it's already linked.

• ✅ If using Meta Business Suite, ensure you're a Business Manager Admin
  If your Page and Instagram are part of a Business Manager, you must be an Admin in that Business Manager account to connect or manage Instagram access.
